Ineiev's comment raises another good point - this would be a good candidate for
a GNU article if there is not one already

the point being that community building is itself a tool to this end - it can be
recommended that rather than trusting implicitly in anything that your web
browser shows you, one could invest some time investigating some side-channels
such as IRC and mailing lists where they could become familiar first-hand with
the developers and other users of their operating system; and perhaps verify the
key fingerprints found on the web with other users, and adding them to their
personal keyring before downloading anything
